Inauguration Entrancement

I admit it. I watched the Obama Inauguration yesterday, from nearly beginning to end. For fear of being written out of my in-laws will, I admit it. I actually voted for President Obama, much to the chagrin of my wife, her parents, and sisters. Although, I'm not sure they actually know I voted for him. I felt he was going to bring the necessary change needed in this country to get us out of the recession. Anyhow, I had the morning and afternoon off yesterday, and found myself enthralled in everything Obama, just as the rest of the country. Although, I think my in-laws purposely ran errands yesterday and were out of the house since they do not care for him or his politics. I'm not sure why I'm so enamored with our newfound royalty, but they strike me as regular people that the American public can relate to, even if they are millionaires. I wasn't so caught up in the "first black president" thing as most others in the country, I am just inspired by how this man has inspired the nation, both black and white. President Obama is a very intelligent man, and while he's quite the "newb" on the political scene, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and trust his instincts to see what he can do. Honestly, I don't think it can get much worse than where we're at right now, so perhaps his kind of political style is just what the country needs. Anyhow, I spent most of the day watching the pre-inaugural ceremonies, watched the swearing in ceremony, watched the speech, watched the parade, and watched the commentary in between. I can honestly say, I thoroughly enjoyed it all. Congratulations President Obama! Now let's see what happens.
